Orange SkunkBand

– Orange SkunkBand –
Cali-O(aka California Orange) x BubbleBand(Headband x [Headband x Indiana BubbleGum])

What is BubbleBand?! An INSANE Mashup That Ive Been Working On For A Couple Years Now. Its the base cross of 2 classic heirlooms which need no introduction to the seasoned heads out there: Headband(LA Kush/Notso Cut) x Indiana BubbleGum(CSI). This was a limited NotsoxCSIxBS release that I popped 7 of and found an absolute keeper from that run. My keeper pheno, the #7 from that run, heavily leans toward the headband lineage in structure and aroma, this pheno checked every box for me. Shes a Skunky, Frosty, Sticky, Green Bud Beauty Queen. The BubbleGum really bulked up the yield on these & unlike most of the other phenos from the pack, the #7 didn’t receive too much sweetness at all to it, just a waxy pink bubblegum note that is quite understated with an emphasis on Gas & Skunk Notes which are quite forward!

I took this keeper of Headband x Indiana BubbleGum and reversed it on to the Headband Mother(Notso Cut) and the results were nothing short of phenomenal! These are a bulked up headband that yields heavy and produces Skunky, Diesel leaning phenos with a hint of pink waxy bubble gum aromas without any of the sweetness and straight gassy sour exhales in most phenos. Its basically just a bigger yielding Headband! For those of you looking for the old school skunk, this is one of my top 5 varietals that put you in the ballpark of old school skunk notes! Fresh carbon filters recommended for these runs as many phenos will get deliciously loud n’ stanky!

I laid this ontop of the legendary Cali-O to create an insanely terpy, potent headband cultivar. Cali-O is known for her extremely loud volatile citrus/sweet Orange and high terp %’s. Cali-O is rumored to come to us by way of a skunk selection from the 70s orange bud…this cultivar is hotly debated and shrouded in mystery! One thing we can say for certain is that she brings a very unique old school genetic pool to the table that when mixed with this skunk/Gum grand child you just get the best of old-school “should have been” strains of the 80’s-90’s era. In the 90’s reading high times I dreamed about mashups like this: a cali-o to skunk hybrid cross. Im getting around to getting out all my dreams as the years go by, this was but one of them. She has a great fade when ran outdoors and talk about terps! The sweet fresh peeled Orange Terps mashed up perfectly well with the skunky gassy funk of the headband bx. These will be some of the most timeless and epic terps out of the line! These came out a really nice balance of the 2 mothers in general but you can catch phenos leaning to either parent heavily.

Flower Time: 8.5-10 Weeks

Phenos: Balanced Hybrid

Terps: Fresh Oranges & skunky Gas, Sour skunky citrus earth, strong petrol Skunkiness, Sour Diesel with an orange twist, Loud & skunky ammonia orange rind with powedered sugar and gas scent. One of the only cultivars in the line that produces noteable sweetness with the skunky gas notes of the headband.

Therapeutics: Party and Fun smoke, Great anytime smoke, very potent with a “no ceilings” effect in select phenos, Very potent & Cerebral settling at therapeutic half-life into a very relaxing body buzz that is reminiscent of the bubblegum parentage. So more uplifting high on the front end with a settled indica on the back end of effects, a very groovy & unique pairing!
